8. The line 5x + y – 1 = 0 coincides with one of the

lines given by 5x2 + xy – kx – 2y + 2 = 0 then the

value of k is

(A) –11 (B) 31

(C) 11 (D) –31

Answer (C)

Sol. If the lines represented by pair of lines ax2 + by2 +

2gx + 2fy + 2hxy + c = 0 has slopes m1 and m

2,

then we have m1 + m

2 =

2h

b , which in this case

is not defined as b = 0.Since slope of one of the

lines is given as m = –5, the slope of other must

be infinite. Hence the other line must be of the form

x = k1. Comparing term by term (5x + y – 1)(x –

k1) 5x2 + xy – kx – 2y + 2, we get k = 11

25. The negation of the statement : “Getting above 95%

marks is necessary condition for Hema to get the

admission in good college”.

(A) Hema gets above 95% marks but she does not

get the admission in good college

(B) Hema does not get above 95% marks and she

gets admission in good college

(C) If Hema does not get above 95% marks then

she will not get the admission in good college

(D) Hema does not get above 95% marks or she

gets the admission in good college

Answer (B)

Sol. Let A denote "Hema to get the admission in good

college"

B denote "Getting above 95% marks"

Then given statement is A B. Negation of this

statement is

) ~ (~ A ) ~~ (A B B A B

Hence the required negation in words is "Hema

does not get above 95% marks and she gets

admission in good college”.

is

(A) 1 (B) 13

(C) –1 (D) –13

Answer (C)

Sol. It is ambiguous that is denoted by aij.

Assuming aij to be elements of co-factor matrix we

have a31

= (–1)3 + 1 (52 – 13) = 7, a32

= (–1)3 + 2

(51 – 13) = –2, a33

= (–1)3 + 3 (11 – 12) = –1.

Hence a31

(–17) = –1.

37. The contrapositive of the statement : “If the weather

is fine then my friends will come and we go for a

picnic.”

(A) The weather is fine but my friends will not come

or we do not go for a picnic

(B) If my friends do not come or we do not go for

picnic then weather will not be fine

(C) If the weather is not fine then my friends will

not come or we do not go for a picnic

(D) The weather is not fine but my friends will come

and we go for a picnic

Answer (B)

Sol. Let A denote "Weather is fine"

B denote "my friends will come"

C denote "we go for a picnic"

Then given statement is A B C . To find its

contrapositive, we need to evaluate

)~ ~ A(B C i.e., )~ ~ ~( C AB .

In words this becomes "If my friends do not come

or we do not go for picnic then weather will not be

fine".

y = ±b. The equation of the circle passing through

the vertices of the rectangle is

(A) x2 + y2 = a2

(B) x2 + y2 = a2 + b2

(C) x2 + y2 = a2 – b2

(D) (x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = a2 + b2

Answer (B)

Sol. (a, b) and (–a, –b) will be ends of diameter.

Required equation of circle is

(x + a) (x – a) + (y + b) (y – b) = 0

x2 + y2 = a2 + b2
